Abstract:
At the Agricultural Research and
Development Station of Secuieni, Neamţ
County, we have studied the cultivation of
some new native species: Geum vulgare L
(Purple avens), Origanum vulgare L.
(Oregano), as well as the acclimatization of
Echinacea purpurea (L) Moench. and
Ocimum sanctum L. (Holy basil), due to
their special therapeutic value. The studied
variants have followed the determination of
the best sowing period for this plant. Under
the conditions of the Secuieni Station, the
native species Origanum vulgare L. and
Geum vulgare L., as well as the foreign
species Echinacea purpurea (L) Moench.
and Ocimum sanctum L., when sown at the
optimum period for them, have found the
best conditions of growth and development.
In Echinacea purpurea (L) Moench., the
highest production of dry herb (55.60kg/ha)
was found at the control, compared to 1320
kg/ha dry herb (55.60kg/ha), obtained at the
variant sown in summer. The yield
difference was of 4240 kg/ha (24%). In
Ocimum sanctum L., the highest yield of dry
herb (1811.3 kg/ha) was obtained at the
variants sown in the first decade of April
(20-30 April) that exceeded the control
(sown in the first decade of April) with a
yield increase of 654.6 kg/ha (157%). Geum
vulgare L. had the highest yield of fresh
root (3390 kg/ha) at the variant sown at the
end of summer (20-30 August), compared to
only 1268 kg/ha obtained at the variant
sown in spring , the difference being of
2010 kg/ha (41%). In Origanum vulgare L.,
the highest production of dry herb (3521.67
kg/ha) was obtained at the control sown at
the end of August (20-30 August),
compared to 2133 kg/ha dry herb as we
obtained at the variants of the second stage.
The production difference was of 1455
kg/ha (41%).
